Manage Storefront Categories

Download Manual

You may find that you wish to add a category or change the name of a category on your storefront. Your storefront items must belong to one or more categories so your customers can easily find what they are looking for.

Category Tips

Categories must be active to be seen on the storefront. Any products within inactive categories will not be seen.
The storefront will not let you change the name of a category unless there are no products within it. Therefore, you will need to temporarily remove the products within the category or contact a support to change the name for you.

Add a Storefront Category

Access the Storefront.
Select Storefront from the main menu.
Select 01 Products to open the Product Menu.
Select Add under Categories to create a new category.
Fill out the Add Category form. See the table below for an explanation of the fields on this form.
Save.

Add Category Form Fields	Explanation
Description	This is the category name that will be displayed in your store when people browse the store by category, together with the category image.
Parent Category	Select root to create a brand new category. Select an available category from the drop-down menu to create a subcategory that belongs to the parent category you select.
Details	Add more information not available in the description field. The text you enter here will show as a detailed view when customers click on the category.
Keywords	Add as many simple terms as you like, each separated by a comma, to help customers using the search tool.
